Jude smiled. “I’ll remember your help, Kenny. Sorry about your wife.” Al didn’t think anyone was sorry about Katherine, especially her husband, who was looking pretty liberated at the moment.

Once Jude pulled out into traffic, Jenna spoke. “What was Katherine’s official title?” Jude glanced in the rearview mirror. “She was in charge of a ten-state area like I am.

Only it seems she liked to think of herself as a lot more powerful than she was.” He shook his head. “Not too smart. Only someone stupid would meet with strangers without a lot more protections in place. Only someone stupid would underestimate you guys. She didn’t deserve those ten states.”

“Who does deserve them?” Spin sounded like he knew the answer.

Jude’s smile was wide and for once sincere. “I guess I do, for the time being. But as much as I like the power trip, I don’t want the added responsibility. So I’ll give it up as soon as someone can take it from me.”

“Take it from you?” Jenna wiggled her behind as she worked herself into a more comfortable position.

Al’s body reacted to the stimulus in a predictable way. He suspected, though, that Spin would have a similar reaction. Bastard.

“We earn leadership over an area by being stronger than everyone else.” He shrugged.

“So when someone stronger comes along, they can have Pennsylvania and the other states.”

“How do you decide who’s stronger?” Jenna wasn’t going to leave it alone.

“We fight.”

That silenced Jenna. Her expression said the whole idea was barbaric and she’d thought better of Jude. Personally, Al’s opinion of Jude had just gone up. Call him primitive and savage, but Al respected a man who fought for his territory, or his mate. He sent a glare in Spin’s direction. Mate? He’d better lose that thought fast.

When they finally got back to the condo, Fin was waiting for them in the media room.

Jenna took the decision of who would sit next to her out of Al’s and Fin’s hands by dropping into a leather recliner. She sighed her relief.

Al masked his disappointment by taking a nearby chair. Then he waited for everyone else to be seated.

For once, Fin seemed satisfied. “Things worked out a lot better than I expected.” Jenna didn’t agree. “A power-hungry vampire bitch set one of her own on fire just to prove she could. After that she threatened us with death and Spin had to kill half a church full of vampires to save our lives. I don’t know about you, but I expected a better ending to my day.”

Al wondered what held her together, and why she didn’t run. Just a few days ago she was an ordinary woman living an ordinary life. Now she was witnessing death and horror everywhere she turned.

If she was staying just for her sister, then why did she agree to go anywhere with him?
